What makes a great driver stand up from the rest of well talented drivers in F1? This is a question that many of motorsport fans ask themselves from time to time and certainly it is a bit tricky trying to answer it. However there are certain conditions that let you determine if a driver has the skills to make a difference or not regardless of race winnings, pole positions or podium finishes. In formula one as in many other motorsport series you race against competition and also against your “teammate”. This last fact lets you determine many times who is the driver who wants to win so badly that will do anything to mentally subjugate their teammates to the number two drivers spot within the team and that there is a sign of a driver who has the determination to win.Read more

Fernando carried the team to a last race championship definition delivering outstanding results in a car that wasn’t capable to compete with the top main rivals. Kudos for Fernando and also to Massa who showed some form at the end of the seson. Keep it up.

What a thrilling race this was and for a couple of laps it seemed that everything will go in favor of Fernando Alonso but, at the end Sebastian Vettel did just what he needed to become the youngest Triple World Champion. Here is the exciting first lap at least for Fernando’s fans.

Here are the different scenearios where Vettel or Alonso will win this year Formula 1 championship.

Any scenario where Vettel is fourth or higher gives Vettel the title.

A win for Alonso would give him the title if Vettel is fifth or lower

If Alonso is second, he would be champion if Vettel is 8th or lower

If Alonso is third with Vettel lower than ninth, Alonso is champion

The final race is held at the Interlagos circuit in Brasil, a circuit that have gave us many incredible races rising emotions to the top. Just to mention a few from the near past, Raickonen Championship in 2007 and Hamilton’s in 2008 where the tittle was not decided until the last corner of the race.

Ferrari’s lack of pace compared to red bull’s incredible performance in the last five races have worried team Principal Stefano DomenicalI. But there is nothing to worry about, Domenicali and his team have found the perfect solution to their problem…

Kun Aguero is a Premier League player known by his immense talent as a footballer. Just last year his scored one of the most dramatic goals in this league history.

But it seems that his talent is not only limited to a football field, as you will see in the next video he really knows how to handle a powerful car. F1 driver Nico Rosberg took him around the track for a recognition lap and after that the Kun took the steering will even on a more powerful car, enjoy…

So 2 races remaining and the big question is already out there. Who have the inside line for the remaining two races on the American soil? I will not write 1,000 lines analyzing the circuit’s characteristics and the cars capabilities, because at the end I think we all know who have the inside line, don’t we? Since the Singapore GP Red Bull has shown that is the team to beat in any type of circuits, Adrian Newey has done it once again and unfortunately in this case as in many others the drivers are not the heroes.

However this does not mean that Red Bull team and driver will have an easy ride to their 3rd consecutive championship in these next two races left. Fernando Alonso has backed up his words delivering great results that have kept him in the fight for the title hunt. After the Abu Dhabi gran prix Ferrari’s chairman Luca Montezemolo have urged team principal Stefano Domenicalli to push even harder in order to give Alonso a car capable of winning races.

Although Ferrari may do a final attempt to deliver an improved car, we have seen in the past races how results have not matched even Ferrari’s engineer expectations; therefore we may see that happening again.

In terms of teammates help, I think Fernando may have the advantage on this one. Even though you are supposed to have only one teammate Alonso could well count with the help of former teammate/rival Lewis Hamilton, his own teammate Felipe Massa and even Mark Webber. In Webber’s case I don’t see him directly helping Alonso by letting him through but by impeding Vettel to score as many points as possible.

No matter who wins the championship, this season will go as one of the most competitive in the recent years, and as a fan that is what matters. Fernando and Vettel have now to concentrate even more on their goals and ask the almighty to ship away some much needed good luck, which has proven to be very decisive when it comes to winning races this year.
